9.5.4.3 Selecting the Right DHCP Server
The DHCP client requests its own IP address using code 50. The DHCP client will select the
DHCP server that offers the currently used IP address. Additionally the mandatory options
must be offered otherwise the DHCP offer is ignored by the DHCP client.
If no matching reply was received, the DHCP client resends the request 2 times after
1 second. Then the DHCP client will wait for 1 minute before resending 3 requests again.
If the DHCP client cannot accept an DHCP offer within 30 minutes, the RFP is rebooted.
